We are not exactly sure how you describe the movie 'Love in Singapore' the first major release of the year. As usual with majority of recent Mollywood movies ''Pointless'' seems to be word that may fit into it as a befitting adjective. The director duo of Rafi-mecartin seems to have lost their minds here, in creating an old fashioned comedy, lacking associated high Jinks. 'Love in Singapore' ends up as another film lacking any promising scripts, with a dumb premise for a movie which hardly feature any credible twists.
It is apparently ''love in Singapore'' as per the titles. But we are introduced to our lead character Machu'' going around in Singapore in search of his lost money, rather than his love. He, basically a scrap dealer, in a deal with Andrews Pereira was taken for a ride and the later has escaped to Singapore with his beautiful daughter Diana and the big fortune of Machu. Perriera'' Sayip'', when he was in Kerala has even misled Machu, who had instantly fallen in love with his daughter. Now left with no other options, Machu leave for Singapore swearing to marry Diana at any cost and to give Sayip, an unforgettable lesson in his life.
By the title of movie itself, you can predict the rest and we are sure you will never ever falter in that. The movie is such an amazingly stupid exercise with Mammootty, an actor genetically unable to act badly, in a character that seldom suits him. He has tried his level best to save the show, but with hardly any appealing script and sequences, the film just does not work.The debutante heroine Navaneeth Kour as Diana is sketched with a very weak character development. Suraj Venjaramoodu, Salimkumar and Bijukuttan occasionally sounds the right dialects for laughs in the irritating vignettes of events, but majority of the time is wasted in cooking up some funny and half baked giggles. It hurts us to say that slapstick wizards like Rafi-Mecartin, is in their lowest point of their filmi career with this desperate Singaporean episode.
Music director Suresh Peters has come up with some foot tapping music, but even these numbers fail to put the movie on track. The background scoring by Mohan Sithara is also engaging enough to make a Passover. The other technical crew including Sanjeev Sankar in the camera department and Boban in the art does their routine jobs.
The movie may excite some, mostly children if you are in a mood to watch it in a simple goofy comic-book movie mode. And for every one else, if you only see one bad movie an year, then you can very well make it this one. It can be a good way to waste two hours of your life.
